Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Here in Oz we are slowly opening the borders as numbers fall.
But we are well aware that numbers may well rise again.
Vaccination passports will be required in many instances and the number of companies making vaccination compulsory grows daily, no jab , no work.
Not a problem with that as any one in contact with the public should be vaccinated.
Friend of ours has a nurse as daughter in law working 12 hour shifts in full PPE with only two half hour breaks.
We have to get bused to living with this virus, it is not going anywhere any time soon.
Life has to continue, we cannot live as prisoners any longer.
Yes there will be new cases, yes some will die but that is life, we have had, and will have again, other viruses just as bad.
Smallpox, Aids, Ebola, still with us, and even such as Measles can kill.
South Africa just as it was in India are burrying in mass grave sit is so bad.
But both countries doctors will tell you have diseases they do not yet understand.
I want to live what years I have left doing what I want to do, yes it may be a bit of a risk at times, but going for a drive can be just as risky some times.
Pass the cotton wool, don't want to get hurt. LOL
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Not sure about that Victoria, but UK have had 85% given AZ.
Latest report says any one who had Pfizer will most likely require a booster after six months, but AZ will be good for at least 12 months.
Boosters now being given in UK along with flu vaccine.

I had my two vaccinations earlier this year - Astra Zeneca; yesterday I had a 6 month booster - Pfizer. Side effects I noticed- sore heavy arm and headache. Quite uncomfortable all night, headache was like a bad hangover.

Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Some in the business of this Virus say a mixture of AZ and Pfizer is the best.
But Pfizer on it's own does not have longevity.
We had AZ as did our GP, he tells me we will receive a note in January for our booster date and he informs m\ne it will be with AZ.

Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Speaking with my niece in London this morning, senior radiographer at St. Thomas hospital.
The medical profession now say two things, mixing the vaccines has no lasting effect.
Catching the virus after initial vaccination you will be more immune than before.
